So Close to Failing

- One forgets so quickly what has happened. We forget the battles we have won. The challenges we have overcome. When you set your mind to something and refuse to give up, you'll find that there's no challenge too great to overcome. With every mile you sail, you'll discover a new level of strength and resilience within yourself, and you'll come to realize that anything is possible if you have the courage and determination to see it through. Never Ever stop believing in yourself.
With Love,
Ben, Ash, Willa, Bodhi

There’s nothing more educational than travel for kids. No history book will replace hands on interaction with different Cultures. No one should ever question your Parenting because you are doing great.
Plus your children's immune systems will be strong because of this. I'm big believer in not being to over protective and let kids be kids. You guys are amazing parents and great sailing family channel.

The Best Sailing-Chanel with the most Heart-warming guys, really real-talking brave sailors, awesome open-minded human beings! Nothing more or less to say. My best wishes for fair winds, from Germany! YOU ROCK!
You never know how deep you can dig to do what needs to be done until you have the courage to do it. Thank you for being role models on dealing with life.
Very inspirational channel guys. I’m a 65yr old VI guy, I hope I’m around in 20 years to see where your family has come to. I see a couple of well rounded kids growing up with confidence and a whole different attitude then most young people. You two are giving a wonderful life to your kids. Thanks for bringing us along!
💯💕
Absolutely fantastic recapitulation! I admire your resistance facing all sort of challenges! Bravo!
This was a great recap of all your trials and tribulations, and yet you are truly blessed and amazing to complete your circumnavigation with such safe travels and you have incredible children and you both have such faith in each other. Love you all 🥰⛵️⛵️⛵️💕💕
Best video yet. Nice to compile so many experiences into one video. I am 79 now so probably won't be off on any similar adventure but am fully capable of traveling with you, albeit vicariously. Always looking forward to your next video.
I follow several 'couple sailing' TH-cam channels - this one is right at the top. Such great spirit here. Thanks so much for all you share with us. Always stellar content and food for thought.
You are such a fantastic channel to watch. Such competent sailors showing such confidence sailing with small children!! Love watching your interactions with the locals in different cultures. Can’t wait for your next video.
HI, I have actually followed you guys for years all the way back to papua etc. This video was so incredibly inspiring. I followed you through all of the boat problems and everything you described and for me as well I thought "Man, these guys are never going to get going again" and THEN YOU DID! This video put it all together and raised both of you to another level. I have been to Madagascar as well and felt the poverty and also the simplicity and commonality of the people. You both are an incredible inspiration. Thank you for taking me along with you. I so appreciate your level headedness. Ashley - You rock! What a strong woman! Ben you are so capable - a womans dream! !!! Hee hee. Thank you so much. From Israel!!!
What a great perspective on the trials and tribulations of the last year. Sooo glad to hear "quit" is not a part of your vocabulary, but "regroup" is. Looking forward to more of your journey, stay safe, stay well, and thanks for bringing us all along...
Really well done video. Really a documentary of your adventures, hardships and joys. I have been throuh a lot of this stuff with my wife and I as crew. Although we cruised with the kids out of the nest. (Much easier) but still young enough. But you guys went through a LOT more hardships than we did. Tougher areas, weather and with little KIDS. Wow, you are both amazing.
And although we. Has an older monohull ( Kelly Peterson 44). We in 10 yrs on that boat cruising, we never had any significant problems. Just the usual. No structural issues. The worst mechanical break down we had ( the only that I couldn’t fix myself was we lost the transmission) and limped into a remote port in extreme south Mexico. We got it rebuilt for a fifth of what it would have cost in the US or Canada.
So I know that you really went through a lot of adversity and hardships. And you did it with amazing attitude and ability. Congrats and looking forward to your ALUMINUM cat!!!! Great choice.
Best Channel out there. You guys keep raising those beautiful kids just like you are. Let the worry warts just keep on worrying. What you are giving those kids is amazing and they will thank you once grown. I love your messages for all of us watching. Thank you for taking us around the world with you. I’m getting to see the world now through your eyes!!!!
I think it is great that you are doing this with your kids at this age. once they will be in middle - high school, you won't have time. And they will have had this great experience young.
Those are a couple of lucky kids.
Teaching them real life , its a beautiful thing .
Keep being awesome ⛵️🇨🇦🍻
If I were to write everything, I thought and felt watching this it would probably be an essay. I like how nothing gets sugarcoated. Perfect picture of Table Mountain with the tablecloth on, passing the Point is special to many sailors (or so I've heard), Fabulous channel, it has become my favorite. Think I just might binge watch from the first episode AGAIN.
I want to come sailing with you guys! I'll be your live aboard nanny! I have a year left of nursing school and once I pass the NCLEX I want to experience this lifestyle so badly. You are both so inspiring and the fact that youre doing it with two small children is just next level. You should be so proud of yourselves.
I felt your pain when you discovered the issues with the deck. So glad it was able to be fixed and you could carry on your adventures
Hi guys, I'm a first time commenter! Just like to say say you guys are so inspirational, seriously! You put life into a real perspective. You are so right, we listen to two many people in our lives in making a decisions. Go with what you feel is right, the old 'gut feeling'!
I have been watching your channel for many years now. You guys have been thrown a curve ball along the way and you always get through. When life throws you guys lemons, you guys definitely make lemonade!
Keep up the awesome work......living your dream!
You two two are awesome, indomitable and inspirational. Let the haters hate. Keep doing what you are doing.
7:25 - one way to distinguish 'dedicated' from 'committed': like egg & bacon breakfast - the chicken is dedicated, the pig is committed. You get it.
You guys are the BOMB!!! I feel it sad that you have to justify your children's life and your lifestyle when actually this is the richest education one could hope for. They are learning from day one that the World is full of experiences of all kinds. Much admiration and respect to ya'll.
I admire your tenacity; most would have given up with the problems you have encountered.
Excellent video, very reflective! You guys just keep getting back on that horse and never give up. What an amazing family you have, you should be proud & confident in raising two fantastic well rounded children. 🤗💞
Ben Ashley, you guys are AWESOME parents! Your kids live what they know. I wish i could be half as adventurous as you guys🤙
Good on you guys you have achieved so much and all while having two kids as well. Particularly impressed with your fixing your bridge deck issues. After all others have spent a year or so doing these sorts of repairs certainly not with kids and family on hold en route in a pit stop.
Nice to see people sailing and going. Most channels show partying with friends and not much sailing. Love the kids. Looks like a real fun time. Enjoy it. Tempest fugit. Watching from Orlando, Florida
"Make the world a better place." It's a wonderful motto by which to live. I love you guys! Safe travels ❤️
I have been inspired by and learned from your videos for years. This is one of your best ever. Clearly "its not all plain sailing" and the honesty and emotion of this video shows through. There will be people who commit to adventures because of the life you share. I will be one of those people. Thanks so much. 😀
Bugger the naysayers. We are but an insect on the wall looking at what's going on. I enjoy your vids more than ever. I'm 59 and disabled. You live my imagination for me. Just do what your doing, and take me away each week from my pain. Love your way.
Words can not describe how in awe I am with your channel, your family and specifically with the two of YOU! You truly rock. What an inspiration you are (and I'm not even a sailor!). #Goals
Great channel. Good for you. You both are level headed. What a life story. It is said the Red Sea didn't part until Moses " took the first step" into the water. Carry on dear ones.
Your channel is my Netflix! ❤
Watching your channel helps to realize that keeping on going even through the tough times is essential to getting to the goal posts. Thanks for your inspiration.
Maybe your best “episode ever. Thanks so much for sharing.
What great chapters you have in your book of life, and not you're simply just beginning a new chapter....
You & your family lead an admirable and envious lifestyle.
Fair winds to your next destination.
Nice! So many messages from your travels. Thanks for the recap.
See ya last season. Cheers to boat work and the season that lies ahead. 🍻
you guys are great and doing a great job as parents. We spent some time on Zingaro and realized it's really living this life you lead and to raise children in this life is a great thing, land life has many dangers as well but life on the sea is what I feel is the best way to live a full life. On land we sometimes miss what it means to really live but you guys are able to raise a family in the purist form. Keep it up and again I think you're doing a great job
Clever, enjoyable summary video. You made it. Hurrah!
I completely agree with your philosophy of rearing children. When there's no room for tantrums, there are no tantrums.
Congrats! Looking forward to your future adventures!
Great attitudes. Perseverance. Priceless memories. You guys are pretty awesome. 👏 🤙
Love watching your videos. You both are great parents and keep them very safe.
Well I was terribly worried about you, but never lost faith in your abilities to persevere and overcome adversities. You are an amazing family with delightful kids, an awesome home and undeniable courage. I hope I can figure out how to become a Patreon to support you better. I’m admittedly crummy at computer stuff, and cannot “play” with it to figure out how to do things, but in time I’ll figure it out. Best wishes to my favorite tubers!
It is So Cool to see your Dreams Come True and Showing Us the Ups and Down in the Life of Sailing. You Four Please be Safe and Hope to see you sail home to Canada. Peace
I love the way you just sail on times can be hard or great. The way you treat life is inspiration at its best. Keep the stick up and the family inside. I tried to think of something else to say do not have the words.
Thanks for another great video. I always enjoy them.
I just love you guys. You always keep it so real. Thank you ❤
What a year ! Keep it positive....
What an EPIC journey!! it is great to follow your journey & your determination & inter-dependance! I leave on Mauritius Island...not many touch base here, do you know why?.. I agree that Seychelles is the most beautiful!! 😉all the best on our Journey! Cheers
LIFE Without The Challenges is NO FUN !!!!!!!! Cheers, and Keep TRUCKING ~~~~~~~~
Congratulations you all 👌 👏 👍
Can’t believe I remember each of these moments….
We love ❤️ y'all an love watching y'all's videos an fun journeys in y'all's life what a fantastic time y'all have an a beautiful 🌞 boat y'all have aswell keep up the beautiful travels from the Raymond an Deanna just from Crosby Texas
You all are the real deal! Great content. Thank you!
They luv it man, and we luv all you guys and your stories!
I love your story!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing couple, respect. Welcome to Cape Town, trust you'll enjoy your stay and bring us some amazing videos.
Watching you guys and how honest you are with showing all the good AND the bad is why I reconsidered living that way myself. Looks fun to a degree but it seems like you guys are just constantly repairing your boat. For someone who doesn't have a TH-cam channel, Patreon, etc, that would be impossible for me to afford. Very educational though and I'll just live vicariously through you two.
Your children live an amazing life. Your family lives an amazing life. Thank you for sharing your amazing life ☺️
Thanks for motivating me to start traveling in my RV
you don't owe anyone an explanation about raising your kids. you do you.
From White Rock BC…HUUUUUGGGEE THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US ALL ALONG FOR THIS ADVENTURE! 🍷🍷🧉🧉🥰
What a journey you've been on
So pleased and grateful to have travelled nearly the whole time
You guys are doing an amazing job as parents
Your kids will be way more rounded than any city kid
Thanks for sharing your life with us all
Much love and God bless
Awesome explanation of sailing for the first time! You become more salter with time on the water! Great video!
Always keep me hooked. Sure learn how to make do with what you have. Safe sailing and see you soon.
You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. Life is a roller coaster on the water or on land. Either place can make you crazy.
But i have never, heard anyone describe sailing as Lumpy! lol Classic West Coast Canada speak.
Thanx....
New Zealand
Thanks!
EXCELLLENT Video. Very nicely done!
So honest. Good stuff.
Good video. We liked how you both talked in present but showed video clips of the journey.
Seeing Willa comprehend that the family boat is being moved on the trailer really reminded me of my childhood. Now my grandson is going to see the same things.
Keep on sailing!
Fantastic recap! Really enjoyed the video. Looking forward to more adventures
Don’t listen to other people you are doing a good job as parents
Thankyou 👍 brilliant
Just signed up for your Patreon…you provide much enjoyment…
Good video, all aspects of it, the good, the bad, the ugly.
Wow You Guys rock, and have done/achieved so much in the last 12 months... future looks bright gotta where shades eh
Well Done , Oh the memories in that rocking chair ...... Enjoy
Great video Ben and Ashley
Respect.
I saw your video about your tanks you didn't need to do that what you really needed is a fuel polisher and what you also do is when you're putting fuel in your tanks you need to put about a gallon of the special stuff that keeps the growth down and kills it and also if you put dual Ray core fuel filters the large ones I think they're 100 gallons an hour their priming filters it'll help but the fuel polisher is really important thing
You spent days at the Thai aquarium, cool.
Good to see you
Hello Dears...those kids have caring parents 24h/7, not sure all kids have that now days...You are giving them great first times on our planet...They will be smarter than average for sure besides their parents being wonderful people...
15:01 Just as it happens on our boat lol Thank you Tahnk you Thank you for the isnpirational video guys. You inspire me to be more confident and that everything is possible with planning and determination. We do hope to meet you one day. SV Kalea
Nicely Done fellow Canucks!!!
We call those guys the special forces. They parchute in blow up your plan then leave. Very upsetting when those guys show up!!
Awesome
really great video. im so jealous
That explains Bodhis wierd bouncing in his chair! 😅 I have seen the clip a couple of times and wonderd if it was a motor on it ore something and why, it was the sharp waves! 😅
I trust us Capetonians are making you feel welcome.
Inspirational 👍💪❤
Did you ever finish your trip around the world ,also did you ever get the new sail boat
Just a thought, as adults, getting back on the bike might not be possible as you might have a permanent injury that wouldn't have bothered you as a kid. (I just hurt my back, not sure how, it happened when I was asleep lol)
❤
